5 more crazy ways to charge your mobile phone

Last week we compiled some of the most innovative and eco-friendly ways to charge a mobile phone. Why stop the fun there? Well, you’ll be pleased to know we haven’t. Below are 5 more great charging techniques utilising the likes of kinetic, solar and friction based charging. Which is your favourite?

1.  Spinning Charger
Although only a concept gadget, the designers Song Teaho & Hyejin Lee were thinking outside the box when they came up with the mobile phone battery charger that works by being spun on your finger. It isn’t designed for long charges but just getting that extra charge when you need to make an urgent call. It’s claimed that approximately 130 spins will generate enough for a 2 minute call.


2.  ViberBurst Concept Charger
The Viber Burst concept charger harnesses the power of motion. So, whether in your bag, your hands or event your shoe, you can charge your phone. The cool thing is it only supposedly takes 2 seconds to transfer the generated energy into your phones battery.

3. Nokia E-CU
We’ve featured the E-Cu before but the fit is too perfect not to do so again. Put the phone in your pocket and start walking. That’s all you need to do to charge this phone as it relies on body heat created by friction from your pocket. Genius!


4. Cube Phone Charger
Designer Zheng Weixi has produced something very simple and very effective with his cube charger. It isn’t even restricted to phones either, most gadgets will get a charge via the USB inside. All you have to do is twist the cube and as you do so you’ll get charge.


5. Solar Rolls
This may sound like some sort of space age sandwich but I assure you it’s a cool piece of tech. Through the use of solar power, you can easily charge your phone. What’s more is the solar rolls are strong, flexible and take up next to no storage space. Try finding a sandwich that does all that ;)

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review

  Introduction Now that the Pro moniker has gone mainstream, it's Ultra that has come to represent the cream of the crop, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can wear that badge proudly. Limited to its home market last year, the ultimate Mi has gone global this time around, and we're happy to have it for review today. We're torn whether it's the camera system's physical appearance that is more striking or the hardware inside. A simply massive raised area on the back looks bolted on, almost after the fact, it's hard to miss, and it's a great conversation starter even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. But its size is warranted - the main camera packs the largest sensor used on a modern-day smartphone, and next to it - two more modules unmatched in their own fields, in one way or another. Oh, and yes, there's also a display here - because why not, but also because it can be useful. There's a lot more than 1.1 inches of ...

GK MCQs and facts

KNOWLEDGE Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include information, facts, descriptions, and/or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); and it can be more or less formal or systematic.In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology, and the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." There is however no single agreed upon definition of knowledge, and there are numerous theories to explain it.  Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings. source : wiki Knowledge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A series of MCQs on GK  ...
